The Weight of Capital
In this cartoon, Karl Marx is shown carrying a massive book titled Capital, referencing his seminal work, Das Kapital. The exaggerated size of the book suggests the profound impact and intellectual weight of Marx’s analysis on capitalism and class dynamics. Marx appears burdened but resolute, symbolizing the enduring struggle to understand and address economic inequalities. The illustration might be interpreted as a reminder of the complexities of capitalist systems and the continued relevance of Marx’s insights in analyzing modern economic and social issues.
